The Church of the Savior on Blood designed in the Russian revival style commemorated the place where Alexander II of Russia was assassinated in 1881, he was mortally wounded by a terrorist bomb. It was erected in 1882-1907. Translations of the church’s name vary between guidebooks and include The Church of the Savior on Blood, The Resurrection Church, The Church of the Resurrection of Christ, Church of the Redeemer, Tserkov Spasa-na-Krovi. But I have only heard it called the Church on the Spilt Blood.
